Diffuser Issue In Practice Puts Berry Starting 35th At Pocono

Josh Berry and the No. 21 eero Mustang Dark Horse will have to start Sunday’s Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway from the rear of the pack after having an issue with the rear diffuser during practice on Saturday.Berry ran just five laps before the issue arose, and the eero crew, led by crew chief Miles Stanley, immediately went to work repairing the No. 21 Mustang.Berry told reporters that he had full confidence that the eero crew will have him a fast Ford when the green flag flies on Sunday.“The guys have done a great job all year giving me fast cars,” he said. “Unfortunately, we had an issue today…“We will be coming from the back [on Sunday] so that should make it interesting.”

The 160-lap Great American Getaway 400 on the 2.5-mile “Tricky Triangle” is scheduled to get the green flag just after 2 p.m. Sunday with Stage breaks planned for Laps 30 and 95.
